I have a ton of questions about this because I've seen similar numbers before:
1. What tools does Codesmith track to know conversion rates? Do they have a central tool that you have to log all applications in and what type of application it was? I work at a job hunting and interview prep platform and I know for a fact that people don't love logging all of their applications and tend to start logging them after the interviews start rolling in, so it could appear that conversions are higher but it's a lack of information. We have a completely custom in house built centralized platform for this and it's still hard! So I'm curious how people log the applications and how this data is collected.
2. This is really granular data, so what are the placement rates for people, I'm assuming they shared this if they shared that detailed data? Median time to offer is useful for one aspect, but if 100% of grads got offers with a median of 4 months, versus 50% of people getting offers with a median of 4 months, that is very important to note. If the median offer is 4 months then they should have plenty of 6 month post graduation placement rates for most of 2023 (up until October grads) to share to compare to 2022. If they didn't provide them, ask!
